I look around the church and am completely humbled by what our students are doing over the next few weeks. In my office there is a stack of luggage that is continuing to pile up in my office as 9 of our seniors prepare to spend a week in Romania hosting a camp for children. Against a wall in the 10th grade sunday school room there are stacks of food, games, and crafts ready for the children at Piedmont Park (a low income housing complex that we visited at camp this year). All these item were paid for by our 10th grade students, who will be going Thursday to spend a day loving children at Piedmont Park. On the table in the work room there is a sheet ready for students to sign-up to serve during SWTA. As I talk with Gaylin she tells me story after story about the growth and depth of the rising 7th grade class from their experience at children's camp this year.
Amazing youth workers and amazing students are a very powerful combination.

I'm not meaning this JUST as an ego boost, but it certainly helps us do these things when we have a youth minister who not only prays and pushes us to serve, but helps us along the way. You're allowed to take SOME credit... you've helped us grow into what we are.
